This soup is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, but it's always delicious. I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little bit of a kick.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter and Christmas, so this is a perfect recipe for me. The soup is also very easy to make. I just threw all of the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it cook all d

I'm not a big fan of lima beans, but I decided to try this soup anyway. I'm so glad I did! The beans were cooked perfectly and they had a great flavor. The soup was also very hearty and filling.

I made this soup for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the smoked paprika. It gave the soup a nice smoky flavor.
